Seabrook

We took what is turning into an annual December trip to Seabrook.  We ran into some crazy weather this time around, but the rain held just long enough for us to enjoy a bit of time outside.  The power went out a few times and most of the weekend was spent with some quality family time.  We played lots of games, spent time at the pool, read books, watched movies by the fire and put together lots of legos.  We love this place, it is low key and allows for some relaxing family time.  We always come back refreshed!

The rain disappeared long enough for us to take a nice hike down to the beach. We followed the gnome trail and kept our eyes open for gnomes... unfortunately the gnomes kept themselves hidden but we did run into many of their homes!

We found our way down at the beach.  The water was higher than it has ever been on our visits and we weren't able to stay too long as the waves were very unpredictable and we often found ourselves running as fast as we could so they didn't drench us... boots and all!

Legos, wine and a fire.  A dream weekend, in my opinion!

The town had a Santa breakfast on Sunday before we left.  The girls had a great time painting ornaments, eating breakfast and looking at Santa from a distance.  Neither of them have ever been willing to actually go up and talk to Santa at any point in their lives!  We also got to watch a play put on my all the local kids the evening before, it was a fun version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

(This was as close as she would get!)

And what better to do on a rainy day then jump in puddles!!
